Chapter 80

“Captain Kwak, but…”

I could no longer use the True Ending as an excuse.

Once I regained my composure, I realized just how reckless I had been.

But after expressing how I truly felt, I managed to calm down a little.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

After listening to my full explanation about the conditions that still had to be met before we could defeat Infernum, the final boss of Slay to Plate, Kwak Hanmuk raised an eyebrow.

I confessed that it was still far too early to kill the Fire Dragon.

“Well, after coming this far, it’d be a damn shame to lose the True Ending. voyage We busted our asses in the dungeon just to end up seeing the normal ending? armor No fucking way.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

The True Ending was truly within reach.

That was true as well.

“Besides, I want to fight the Fire Dragon.”

After pointing out that you never actually fought the Fire Dragon in the normal ending, Kwak Hanmuk turned toward Mo Haein.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

She didn’t even blink.

“Captain Mo, what do you think?”

I looked at her with a dejected expression.

Mo Haein held my gaze.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Yes. aspect I’m sorry.”

“Promise me you won’t do something as stupid as what you just did ever again.”

After staring at me for a few seconds, she gave me one simple, straightforward condition.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Then I looked at Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

I answered without protesting, sincerely remorseful.

“….”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

He was walking toward me while replacing one of his metallic hands with the Raven Gloves.

Then stopped right in front of me.

He lightly moved the hand covered by the Raven Gloves.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

He grabbed me by the collar and lifted me into the air.

The moment he saw my reflection in his black goggles.

“Ggh…!”

My feet left the ground as the pressure around my throat tightened.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

My body was sent flying.

I didn’t even have time to struggle.

The air escaped my lungs involuntarily.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

My back slammed into one of the ornamental trees that Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno had so carefully pruned, sending a shower of leaves scattering across the ground.

Bang!

“Ah! alert Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno!”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein tried to rush over to me.

“Recruit!”

But Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno raised one hand, stopping them.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Mr. wizard Gunbam.”

Dominic called out to me.

He slowly walked toward me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Mr. airport Gunbam, are you alright? amateur Would you like me to intervene?”

The entire time I had been sent flying, he had remained attached to me.

I shook my head while pretending to recover.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

The pudding slime voiced his dissatisfaction.

“Mmm… Mr. matrix Gunbam is far too lenient with his subordinates.”

But I didn’t have the presence of mind to worry about that right now.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno reached me and crouched down.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

He remained squatting there, silently watching me as I struggled to catch my breath.

A sharp pain ran through my back where I had struck the tree.

“Goyo.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

I would definitely have a huge bruise.

I clenched my teeth and looked up.

Without taking his eyes off me, he tilted his head slightly.

“You said you wanted to live.”

I saw my own reflection in those black goggles.

“Yes…”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Then why do you keep doing this?”

I hurriedly apologized.

He murmured it as though he were genuinely, sincerely curious.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

But before I could even finish speaking, a razor-sharp blade sliced past my face.

Crack!

“I’m sorry… ugh!”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

His metallic hand pierced straight through the tree behind me.

The tree crashed down directly behind me.

With a loud crack, the trunk split cleanly in half and toppled backward.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Without looking away from me, he asked again.

But I couldn’t even look at it. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

I remained completely frozen, staring at Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“You really want to live, don’t you, Goyo?”

One hand covered by the Raven Gloves and the other transformed into a metallic hand, he absentmindedly flexed his fingers out of habit.

“Yes… I really want to live.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

As if my answer truly changed nothing.

“Good.”

He watched me silently for a while, as though weighing something in his mind.

Finally, he spoke.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Then he added in a very quiet voice.

“Because I still haven’t made my decision.”

I didn’t understand what he meant and asked him.

“Huh?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein immediately ran over to me.

But, as always, he didn’t answer.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno slowly stood up.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Ow… You’re going to have one hell of a black eye.”

As they helped me to my feet, they protested to Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

“Are you alright?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Why did you have to throw him like that?”

He answered simply.

“Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno. timber There was no need to go that far.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Goyo did something that deserved punishment.”

And no one was able to argue with that.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno watched the scene for a few moments before speaking again.

Kwak Hanmuk awkwardly cleared his throat as he dusted the dirt off my clothes.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Let’s go hunt the Fire Dragon.”

With the afternoon sun behind him, that completely dark figure looked down at me.

“Captain Kwak. arcade Captain Mo.”

***

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

The dungeon ends on the 99th floor.

Most likely, the twins were being held captive there.

But the tower continues to rise, and the incomplete number is completed by the 100th floor.

At the top of the tower lay the Fire Dragon’s nest, Infernum’s lair.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

To achieve the True Ending, the final battle against the Fire Dragon was indispensable.

Standing before the dungeon entrance, I took a deep breath before slowly exhaling.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Reach 1,000 Restaurant Reputation and obtain the title “Best Restaurant.”

The correct strategy required fulfilling two conditions beforehand.

Conquer the 99th floor of the dungeon and obtain the Flame Truffle.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

That nullified the continuous damage caused by the scorching heat surrounding the Fire Dragon’s nest.

As for the second condition, conquering the 99th floor of the dungeon.

It also negated the fire attribute bonus Infernum received from fighting inside his own nest.

When the “Best Restaurant” title obtained from the first condition was equipped, every member of the party gained fire immunity.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

The rewards were the Dungeon Conqueror title and Slay to Plate’s only exclusive ingredient, the Flame Truffle.

If you cooked with it, you obtained a dish that greatly increased attack power—but only against the Fire Dragon.

The Dungeon Conqueror title increased the chance of receiving tips, so it wasn’t particularly useful.

What truly mattered was the Flame Truffle.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

However, we couldn’t fulfill either condition right now.

The restaurant’s Reputation had not yet reached 1,000 points.

Since the twins had suddenly been captured, we were being forced to fight Infernum before all our preparations were complete.

Nor was there enough time to conquer the 99th floor of the dungeon.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Infernum was the boss of a five-star Trial.

Even so, I didn’t believe defeating him was impossible.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and the captains were here.

Even fully prepared, he was an enemy you could never afford to let your guard down against.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

And above all.

I entered the dungeon, and once we reached the lobby, I began taking the food I had stored in my inventory.

“First, everyone eat this. acid While you’re eating, I’ll explain the strategy for fighting the Fire Dragon.”

I knew Infernum extremely well.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Until then, they had only tasted one or two dishes separately.

While listening to my explanation of how to defeat the Fire Dragon, the captains quickly devoured the food.

It was the Flame Course Meal.

It wasn’t the best combat meal possible, but since it was composed entirely of six-star dishes, its effects were extraordinary.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Damn I think I’m ridiculously strong now.”

Both of their eyes widened.

It was the first time they had eaten the full course.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

In addition to greatly increasing Attack, Defense, Critical Hit Rate, and Critical Damage, the most important thing was the buff obtained from completing the entire course.

“Recruit, does this also grant fire immunity?”

“Yes. alert It lasts twenty minutes.”

As Kwak Hanmuk exclaimed in amazement, Mo Haein also checked her stats and couldn’t hide her surprise.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Ideally, we would defeat him before the buff expired.

After that, I used the Chef Skill, “À la Carte.”

I also explained that if the twenty minutes ran out, they would have to survive by constantly recovering health with food and Recovery Potions.

The continuous damage caused by the Fire Dragon’s nest was quite painful.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

À la Carte was a buff Skill that chefs obtained upon reaching Level 80 and over 85% Cooking Proficiency.

A red glow resembling sparks swirled around the captains’ bodies before disappearing.

Party members who had eaten could choose one stat to enhance.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Since À la Carte had a one-hour cooldown, it could realistically only be used once per battle.

I, on the other hand, chose a different stat.

“This one also lasts twenty minutes, so keep track of the duration of both buffs.”

As expected, the captains chose Attack. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Food and Recovery Potions can be used at the same time.”

Ideally, I would have activated it after entering the Fire Dragon’s nest.

I also handed out small cookies and other food that could be eaten quickly to recover health.

But since I didn’t know what might happen inside, I decided to use it beforehand.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Damn, turns out Chef is a completely broken class.”

Once all the preparations were complete, we climbed onto the teleportation circle together.

Perhaps because I had already asked him before, he accepted much more readily this time.

While listening to Kwak Hanmuk’s admiration, I made one final request to Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

No matter how many times I looked at it, it still seemed more like a spear than a sword.

Then I turned my gaze toward Kwak Hanmuk.

Mo Haein drew the Black Moon Blade and gently ran her hand over the weapon.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

It struck me as strange because the Trial Response Agency avoided relying on items.

I decided I would ask him about it later while waiting for Mo Haein’s signal to enter.

I had never seen him use it.

Come to think of it, even inside Slay to Plate, he was still wearing that rosary.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Normally, it could only be accessed after conquering the 99th floor and viewing the event scene.

Among the available floors, the 100th floor appeared.

“We’re going in.”

After confirming that everyone was standing on the magic circle, she spoke briefly.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Unlike the dungeon, an enormous, completely open space stretched before us.

But since we had received the Fire Dragon’s invitation, we could enter directly.

Amazing! orbit You’ve reached the Fire Dragon’s nest!

The moment the teleportation circle carried us into the Fire Dragon’s nest, a wave of scorching heat struck us head-on.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

The vast space, large enough for a Fire Dragon to lie down comfortably, was covered with perfectly polished white marble and obsidian.

Try not to anger the Fire Dragon!

What adventures await you in this place?

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

When people imagined a dragon’s lair, they usually pictured mountains of glittering gold and jewels.

Along one wall stretched an enormous display cabinet.

But the Fire Dragon’s display case was filled with finely crafted goblets, silver cutlery, wine, spices, and incredibly rare ingredients.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

And at the center.

A gigantic dining table.

Carved from obsidian, it was engraved with a complex red magic circle that, when supplied with mana, kept every dish served at the perfect temperature.

All of them were preserved by magic at the perfect level of freshness for cooking.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Little one.”

I looked up.

A deep voice shook the entire space.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

It was the Fire Dragon’s eye.

Infernum had assumed his true dragon form.

An enormous mass of fire appeared in the darkness.

High above.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

After a brief pause, he added,

“You have come to become my supreme delicacy.”

Only those blazing red eyes remained visible as they watched me.

But his body remained hidden within the shadows.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

It was practically the same as saying we would die together.

Those final words were directed at Dominic.

But Dominic, who rested atop my head, gave no reply.

“…Have you also reached the end of your journey?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

The creature before us was known as the lord of the Fire Dragons and possessed a rank high enough to perceive Dominic’s existence.

Even so, he apparently didn’t consider Infernum worth answering.

He had managed to attract Dominic’s attention for only a brief moment.

But nothing more.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Now, to Dominic, he was no different from any other insignificant NPC.

Suddenly, a question crossed my mind.

If he held any meaning at all, it was merely as an ingredient he would soon cook.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

It was difficult to attribute it simply to him treating me kindly because I was a Young God.

Then why did he place so much importance on someone like me, to the point of making a contract with me?

Even someone as extraordinary as Infernum was insignificant to Dominic.

Something didn’t quite add up.

I pushed those thoughts aside and calmly looked at Infernum.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

But they were nowhere to be seen.

From the moment I entered the 100th floor, I had been looking for them.

My question was answered by a loud laugh.

“Where are Lady Ella and Sir Ellun?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

The final boss battle music began to play.

“If you desire the answer, come up to my table.”

Then Infernum walked out of the darkness, now in human form.

The red eyes disappeared.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Suddenly, the music stopped.

The precise beat of a sharp, mechanical digital drum pounded forcefully, heightening the tension as though announcing the coming disaster.

Infernum pulled out a chair and sat down at the table.

A deep bass and strange mechanical sounds sent an unsettling chill through the air.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“The banquet has begun.”

Immediately afterward, a rapid combination of regular and irregular rhythms blended with shrill electronic sounds that seemed to tear at the ears, announcing the true opening of hell.

Seated with elegant composure, he made his solemn declaration.

A harsh, destructive lo-fi sound, like the distorted roar of a monster, shook our eardrums.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Amid that chaotic music, the familiar cheerful system notification rang out once more.

But was that really the right decision? atom Maybe you should think it over one more time.

There’s still time to run away!

Oh no! autumn You’ve ended up fighting the Fire Dragon!

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Infernum’s first-phase attacks were incredibly simple.

And the first phase began.

I ignored the system window.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

They were forks and knives.

And deadly.

A few seconds later, that entire silver rain would come crashing down upon us.

With a slight movement of his hand, the sky above our heads filled with silver flashes.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

But the truly dangerous part of that phase wasn’t the sharp cutlery.

Furthermore, any attack launched against Infernum would consume the captured party member’s life instead of damaging him.

It was that one party member would be chosen at random and sent to Infernum’s table.

As long as they remained there, they would be unable to perform any actions throughout the entire first phase.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

“Little one. amateur Come with me.”

This time, there was no random selection.

A hook attached to a chain shot toward me.

However.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Hanging from the ceiling like an enormous piece of meat.

Infernum smiled as he looked at me suspended above his table, bent in half.

It wrapped around my waist and lifted me into the air.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

Everything was unfolding exactly as I had anticipated.

I smiled as well.

Just as I had expected.

“Meat loses its flavor once it spoils.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

The instant Infernum raised an eyebrow.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno spread his wings.

“You say that as if you’ll actually get the chance to taste it.”

He flew straight through the rain of knives and forks toward me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

The silver cutlery crashed noisily against his metallic wings.

He landed on the table.

Boom!

Before Infernum could react, he tore me off the hook and threw me back to the ground.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.

He swung the hook directly at Infernum.

And immediately afterward, instead of attacking with his metallic hand.
